Kubota Reputation for “Built to Lastâ€
The B01 Series is built by Kubota for Kubota, not a re-branded product built and distributed by multiple manufacturers.

Performance-Matched Kubota-Built LA435 Swift-Tach Loader
Why would you ever want to remove your front end loader? One good reason is that removing the front loader helps prevent ground compaction and turf damage when mowing. It also reduces your turning radius when working in confined areas or around trees. In fact, you’ll find that there are plenty of times that removing your front loader will make your job quicker and easier. That’s why it’s so important that the B01 series swift-tach front loader can be removed quickly, without ever leaving the operator's station.

- Curved Boom Design – Allows for better visibility when performing front loader work
